German national ice hockey player Moritz Seider has scored his first goal of the season in the NHL.
In the 7: 4 (1: 2, 2: 0, 4: 2) away win of his Detroit Red Wings against the San Jose Sharks around Nico Sturm on Thursday (local time), Seider scored in the final third for a 5: 4 lead.
In the five minutes that followed, the visitors struck twice more to decide the game and claim their eighth win of the season after four games without a win.
For the Sharks, however, it was the tenth defeat after three successes in a row.
In his 13 minutes on the ice, Sturm remained without a goal.
Greis outstanding
Thomas Greiss played an important role in his St. Louis Blues' 5-4 (3-0, 1-2, 0-2) home win after a penalty shoot-out against the Washington Capitols.
The German goalkeeper parried 47 of the 51 shots on his goal, and Greiss saved five more shots in a penalty shoot-out.
In the third period, Greiss had to reach behind him twice after the Blues had led 3-0 after the first period of play.
After eight losses in a row, St. Louis has now come off the ice as winners in the past five games.
The New Jersey Devils are currently on an even more impressive streak: After a 3-2 (1-1, 1-0, 0-1) away win after overtime at the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Devils are unbeaten in eleven games.
Yahor Sharanhovich scored New Jersey's winner after 57 seconds of overtime.
